What he said!
I agree that DBI:DBD is great. I've even used it occasionally. My
problem is I cannot get my head around Perl itself. I can write it,
once, and when I come to fix it, I'm up that famous creek without a
canoe, never mind a paddle!
I used Perl quite a lot for Nagios monitoring stuff. But I still suffer
from it I'm afraid.
As far as I remember, when you install 10g or higher, there's a little
Per installation done quietly for you. Not sure if thia applies to
Windows too, but I'm sure it does on Unix.
Try searching through $ORACLE_HOME for a file named "perl" or "perl*" to
see what you have. I'm aways from my servers so I can't check at the moment.
Oh, and Jared's book - Perl for Oracle DBAs is quite useful. (But maybe
needs updating?)
Cheers,
Norm.
